A year on from the death of Ricky Hatton, ITV News got the chance to speak to his parents Carol and Ray to reminisce and look back on the life of one of Britain's most accomplished boxers. The boxing legend was found dead at his home in Greater Manchester aged 46 last year. He held multiple world championships during his career, as well as UK titles, and was named Fighter of the Year in 2015. Hatton won world titles at light-welterweight and welterweight and his all-action style made him one of the most popular fighters of the 2000s. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
